  • Alt+Tab to cycle through windows. Add Shift to cycle backwards. Meta+Tab to use an alternate switcher with a different layout (that I basically never use).

    Ctrl+Alt left/right arrow switches virtual desktop. Add Shift to drag the active window with it to the next desktop.

    Ctrl+Alt up arrow switches to the last Activity (KDE).

    Ctrl+(Shift+)Tab to switch tabs in all apps that can support it, and I have those key combos mapped to macro keys on my keyboard. Also mapped to macros are other tab-switching-related combos for Firefox such as go to first tab, go to last tab, go to left tab and go to right tab. Also Ctrl+W to close tabs, and whatever combo it is to undo closing of tab. Did anyone say tab? Tab!

    Edit: I prefer Ctrl+T for new tab (also macro mapped btw, plus one that also pastes the clipboard content into the adress bar and presses Enter) and Ctrl+N for new document. I don’t want to mix up tabs and documents in my head to cause confusion down the line.
